Explanation:
To calculate the EUR/CHF cross rate from the given quotes:
We have:
To get EUR/CHF (EUR per CHF), we use: EUR/CHF = (EUR/USD) / (CHF/USD)
Bid rate (EUR/CHF): Use the bid for EUR/USD and ask for CHF/USD Bid = 0.9490 / 0.9025 = 1.0515
Ask rate (EUR/CHF): Use the ask for EUR/USD and bid for CHF/USD Ask = 0.9503 / 0.9022 = 1.0533
Therefore, the implied EUR/CHF cross rate is: 1.0515/1.0533
This matches option B exactly.
